If you are like me, there aren't enough hours in the day to stitch, much less explore new threads. Luckily Lisa Kessler of BeStitched has done some preliminary research into Rainbow Gallery's new thread Capri and has a video on her Needlepoint Flix site that is free to view with tips on how best to handle this new thread.

BeStitched's Video on Capri

BeStitched has produced another fun video--this time on the new thread called Capri from Rainbow Gallery.
http://www.bestitchedneedlepointshop.com/6007/new-threads-bestitched-needlepoint/
The Rainbow Gallery website has a closeup of the size 18 and size 13 versions of Capri. I haven't seen this myself but I am told the colors are vibrant and the thread itself has a matte finish.

Needle in a Haystack has added new colors for several threads to their fabulous online database of threads. They have added the newest colors for Entice, Capri, Silk Lame Braid, Soie d'Alger and Straw Silk.

Here is the link to their website thread database. Bookmark it because they have good color photos of most threads. Ordering from them is a slow business (they only ship one day a week and it can take a while to get threads in) but their customer service is excellent and their stock outstanding.
